  • Patent number: 10739093
    Abstract: A follower assembly for an ammunition feeding device is provided. The follower assembly includes a follower body including a bottom surface. The follower assembly also includes a floating pivot coupled to the follower body. The follower assembly further includes a first pontoon and a second pontoon. The first pontoon and the second pontoon are each attached to the floating pivot. By the first pontoon and the second pontoon's attachment to the floating pivot, the first pontoon and the second pontoon are selectively moveable relative to said follower body via the floating pivot.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 8365454
    Abstract: An ammunition clip is described that includes a front end wall, a back end wall, two opposing sidewalls operably engaged with the front end wall and the back end wall to define an enclosure. The sidewalls each include a top section defining a first circumference for the enclosure, a lower section defining a second circumference for the enclosure that is larger than the first circumference, and a transition section between the top section and the lower section. The transition section includes a plurality of offset angled members opposite one another defining the transition between the top section and the lower section. A first guide extends inward into the enclosure from the front end wall substantially orthogonal thereto and a second guide extends inward into the enclosure from the back end wall substantially orthogonal thereto. A guided member is configured to travel within the enclosure in a substantially planar fashion and includes slots at each end thereof for engagement with respective said guides.
